This will be really interesting to follow. Some possiblities:

- He could play the entire album in succession during the shows.

-He could do what he did the first time and mix the Graceland songs in with other African music.

Personally, I´m hoping he mixes in songs from ROTS since the albums are so similar in terms of their sounds.

Well, in an article in one of the Irish newspapers it stated that he´ll be singing other songs from his back catalog and then following by playing Graceland in its entirety

Indeed thats what I read to and it would be really fantastic if only he would do some more concerts in Europe in August, as I am abroad when he is touring the few Europe cities.

I have noticed that there are so many fans coming out of the woodwork now Graceland is back in the spotlight. Friends have made fun of me for years because of my Love of Paul Simon and his music (as well as my CD collecting habits!) but now many of them are going to Hyde Park to see Graceland...

I think it´s made people realise how much they know this album, and that they are actually lapsed Paul Simon fans! This has to be a good thing :-)

"Hurricane Eye" would sound amazing with the blend of African rhythms.
